Vuelo





So like I said, I went on a volcano flight early this morning. We brought the infrared thermal camera and circled the peak of the volcano several times. On the final pass, the volcano exploded right towards us! It is a rather slow eruption, so we had plenty of time to avoid flying in the plume, but the pilot was still worried. This flight was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. In the pictures, you can see the dome that is building on top of the crater and you can see the rock falls in the eruption photos. The peak in the background in an inactive volcano where the observatory is located.
